Queen Anne Barge - Syren Ship Model - 1:24

[JpR62]

Marteen, I used Vallejo Model air color and Winsor&Newton Galeria Acrylic.
It's a little complicate but as I started with this recipe, I follow it at each step of painting :
(From right to left on the picture)


Two coats of Vallejo Surface Primer (mix of 70 605 German Red Brown and 70 624 Pure red) ratio 50/50 - applied using an airbrush
One coat of Vallero Model Air 71.084 Fire Red mixed with Game ink 72 086 (ratio 50/50) - applied using an airbrush
Then three coats of Windsor&Newton Crimson with a little part of Burnt Umber - brushed, very diluted
and at the end three or four coats of Vallejo 71.084 Fire Red mixed with 71.003 Red (ratio 50/50) - applied using an airbrush
I think it's the Fire Red that gives the slightly darker color...

Thx, The result is definatey worth the effort.

Thanks to all who follow the progress of my build.
I was able to advance on the laying of the boxwood panels. For the 20 small side panels, no particular problem, they position themselves on top of the thwarts.


At the stern, I photocopied the plan and cut out the useful parts to precisely determine the position of the panels.



A piece of wood of the right height quickly shaped will help to install the panels.



Time to add the friezes.

You're barge looks really nice. Very well done

 

[Hedley]

Great work! It's turning into a lovely little model, love the colour.

 

[Jimsky]

I am in synch with Christian, looks very nice and accurate build

 

[Charles QC]

Notting to add good work

Thanks to all who follow the progress of my build.
I finished laying the paper friezes .


I just built quickly some jigs using the inner shape of the panels. A small hole, a toothpick, a little sanding stroke once the assembly done and we have a help to cut the rounded shapes of the friezes and to ensure they are well in place once glued.


The iron strap was glued. It is composed of three parts. The seams between each length was filled with some modelling epoxy.

The whole is sanded with fine-grit sandpaper and receives some touching up of paint. The bolts have been simulated.
I still have to apply some rust brown weathering powder to the strip.

The resin castings are in place.




I will start now to carve the Queen Anne cypher.
Happy New Year everyone !

Happy birthday!

 

[JpR62]

Thank You.
After surgery on my right hand four weeks ago, I will soon be able to return to my workshop

 

[Jimsky]

Happy Birthday, JpR62!

Finally back !
The Queen Anne cypher was glued on a scrap piece of 1/8" thick cherry. I used some Uhu stick's glue. When everything is dry and strong, I started by removing the residue of laser chart and rounding the edges using a sharp #11 blade. I referenced the drawing found in the appendix of the instruction manual. The arrows added on the drawing are very useful to know the right direction of cutting.

Finally, I made a light sanding with a small piece of sandpaper. I have to hope that the separation with the backing piece goes well...


The carving of the next 6 pieces will probably be more complex but I will mark beforehand with a pencil the stop cuts on the drawings and on the carving blanks.

Thank you to all the 'Likes'.
The Queen Anne cypher was separated from his backing piece (one night in the alcohol bath) and glued.
I worked on the rudder. I followed the instructions strictly. Ah ! this manual ! What a pleasure !


I also added micro bolts of 0.4 mm.

The tiller was simply carved from a 1/16" x 1/16" cherry strip using a sharp #11 xacto blade.

After painting, the two pieces was glued.





Time to work on the two flags... and continuing to carve...

WHAT MATERIALS ARE THE FREEZES ARE THEY THE PAPER ONES. THANKS Don

 

[JpR62]

Thank you for the 'Likes'.
Yes, Don, I use the paper friezes (Look at post #69 to see how they were installed) I just use some jigs to put them in place. They are very very small ( 4mm wide) and unfortunately I don't have the talent to paint them at this scale...

 

[Charles QC]

Clean and precise I love it

 

[JpR62]

Thank you to all the 'Likes' and for your kind words.
The flag staffs are in place waiting on the flags.




In parallel, I worked on the oars. The problem was to find a solution to repeat the regular shaping of the blades.
I built a little jig for this.




Just turn the blade halfway in order to have a regular angle on both sides.




Then the blades are slightly bent


All the four pieces are finally glued together


The ten sweeps are ready for the painting phase...

 

[Heinrich]

Hi JP. Any updates on this beautiful build?

 

[JpR62]

Thank you to all the 'Likes'.
The oars are almost complete .




I just need to add the thin tape around the tip of the blade.

The Flags have also been added. I think the flag at the bow need more folds...


I just have to finish the carvings...
